Doughnut Breakfast Sandwiches

Zippy was supposed to write this one up, but getting him and Skul to write their blog articles is like trying to perform dental surgery from inside the mouth of an unanesthetized killer whale, so here we are!  It's been a while since we've posted anything - busy times inventing food (and eating it of course!)  This is something Zippy came up with one night around two in the morning when we all decided we were starving and couldn't decide what we wanted at the most glorious institution that is the all night grocery store in the next town over.

Doughnut Breakfast Sandwiches
Prep Time: 5-10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-20 minutes (depending on your multitask cooking skills and how many of these you're actually making)

Ingredients:
(This will make one sandwich, but this is definitely something you need to share if you make it, so make two or three!)
-Plain iced doughnut of the not cake variety.  I'd imagine you could also use a cruller.
-1 large egg
-3 strips of bacon
-cheese, at least two slices; we actually buy bricks of cheese and grate it up - these were great with sharp cheddar
-Maple syrup to top (optional)

 Directions

Set out everything you're going to need ahead of time, as this one comes together pretty quickly.  First, take your doughnut and cut it in half so that you have something like a bun (see the picture!)

In a medium frying pan, cook your egg.  We had these done over easy, but if you prefer scrambled or sunny side up then you go for it pal.  I could launch into a long discussion here regarding egg flipping methods, but who knows how long I could go on about that?  My tried and true method involves letting it cook for a while on one side then picking up the pan and doing a sort of wiggle slide move with the spatula under most of the white, then flipping that sucker without even a prayer.  Maybe I'll put up a video, I don't know.  Hell, even HRH Gordon Ramsay doesn't have any tips for perfectly flipping an egg.  It just can't be done.  Unless you have one of those special tiny pans that's just egg sized and often has an amusing characterized egg face chicken foot creature on it that harkens back to that egg with the feet that was on the Garfield cartoon.  Look, see now, you made me rant.

Your egg is probably cooked by now, so toss that sucker on a plate and drop your bacon in the pan.  Fry it over medium heat to your desired crispiness, or lack thereof.   It wouldn't be The Stoner Food Blog without gratuitous bacon imagery around mid-post... so here you are loves:

Believe it or not, I didn't have any extra bacon porn... so here, have a cat?  Not really the same.  Plus, he wants to eat you and your bacon.

Now that we've had a brief hiatus for bacon porn that turned out to actually be a slightly annoyed cat, we can get back to cooking.  When you're finished frying up your bacon, leave a little of the grease in the pan and grab your doughnut halves.  You want to fry them up on the non-frosted side until they're toasty, between golden and just the slightest bit burnt.

Remove your doughnuts from the pan when they're done and assemble your sandwich with the fried parts of the doughnuts facing out so that you don't get sticky trying to eat your epic sandwich of doom and heart failure.  No one wants to get sticky.  Ours went together like so: doughnut, bacon, egg, cheese, maple syrup, doughnut.  But feel free to be a rebel and skip the syrup, or put the cheese on the bottom, or what have you. I'm pretty sure mine had hot sauce on it too, but everything I consume has hot sauce.  It's your sandwich damn it, be creative!

Now go eat that shit.
